We all wear some sort of uniform in our lives.
Uniforms

Uniforms, what do you think?
Better yet, what do you see?
We're most often what we're wearing
Life is uniformity
Think about it for a bit
Very few do not comply
These uniforms, from day to day,
Are the ones that catch your eye
Police are the most evident
Prisoners who are in the jail
Guards who work to watch them
The judge who sets their bail
Military who protect us
Ones who put the fires out
Chefs who cook our food at night
Servers running all about
Athletes on the field of play
Refs who make them toe the line
Doctors, nurses, in their scrubs,
Airline pilots looking fine
Priests in all their vestments
Business men in suit and tie
Do you ever wear a uniform?
Did you ever wonder why?
Uniforms define the job
At least, provide a guess
I believe that life without them,
Would be a further mess
Still plenty of confusion
Who's a friend or enemy
You'll find them in the uniforms
Of everyone you see
Have a realistic attitude
Of the uniforms out there
Don't think there's someone, that there's not.
In the uniforms we wear
